I replaced Microcline with Orichalum, a metal just as sharp and hard as cotton candy, but as heavy as lead.

After a few seasons I discover goblins are loaded with the stuff.

Give cats natural metallic armor and throw them in your danger room.  Also allow their mouth and tail to grasp (shield in mouth, weapon in tail xD)  Have a cat based military.  You know, do the same with all tame animals xD send in the cats as shock troops to disrupt the archers

Got 15 females and 1 male in my fortress
*facepalm* I noticed this after a year

I don't see how that's a facepalm. I see that as the ultimate vacation.

Oh the male was the only ecstasic one XD

Farms. For about 3 farms I didn't have any idea how to get mud. Then I flooded my unly succesful farm and had to dig a pit to get the water out. Now it's flooding again because of rain. >:( It's okay though because it's making more mud.

At least an in-game year or so ago, I took out a small tribe of Cave Swallow Men in the caverns, as they were listed as hostile and I frankly don't need the caverns to be any more dangerous. A couple of them survived, one who's been wandering about, and another who wandered over to a large open area, took off into the air, and then... stopped. In a single spot. In mid-air. And he hasn't moved in over a year. He's apparently some sort of zen master or something.

Now, shall I use the boring old crossbow method, or drop a chunk of ceiling on his head?

The ceiling method of course.  You had to ask?

Magma. Freaking underachievers these days.

Also bear in mind that dwarves have their heads at a perfect height for a good face-kicking.
That's the great thing about this forum. We can derail any discussion into any other topic.

So I'm playing with magma for the first time. I've dug out a nice, refillable reservoir connected to a volcano. I have a nice complex of workshops planned out on the floor above so I can use magma forges and stuff.

And like an idiot, I started filling the reservoir before I started on the workshops. So the game is literally pausing every second because the miners found warm stone. Yes, I know, stop telling me.

I started off as I often do, with three dogs and they are physically less than imposing; the bitches are enormous yet very weak and the male is gigantic yet incredibly weak. :(
My start donkey on the other hand is very muscular and just gigantic overall, but I haven't modded war donkeys in. ::)
